Business Development Manager

Cumulus Capital funds property developers — construction and development loans, bridging, residual stock and land finance — and we're growing our loan book. That's where you come in. As our Business Development Manager, your job is simple to describe and rewarding to do well: find developers who need funding and bring them to us. You'll build and own a pipeline of developer clients and referral partners — mortgage and finance brokers, accountants, buyers' agents, builders and agents — and turn those relationships into settled deals. You get a competitive base salary plus a percentage of every deal that settles, uncapped. The harder you work your network, the more you earn. What you'll actually do Originate new development finance enquiries by getting in front of developers and referral partners — in person, on the phone, and through your own network. Understand each developer's project and funding needs, then package the opportunity and hand it to our credit team in good shape. Work deals through to settlement, keeping the developer and the referrer warm the whole way. Grow and nurture a referral network so quality enquiries keep coming to you. Represent Cumulus at industry events and in your market — you're the face developers meet first. Keep your pipeline honest and up to date so you always know what's landing. A typical week Some of it is out meeting developers over coffee or on-site; some is at your desk packaging deals and following up referrers; some is at our office with the credit and lending team. You decide how it's shaped. We care about deals that settle, not hours logged at a desk — so if the school pickup is at 3, you do the school pickup. The team You'll work alongside a lean, experienced credit and lending team who turn your enquiries around quickly and back you to close. Leadership is close by, decisions are fast, and there's no layer of red tape between you and getting a deal done. Why this role Real earning power. Base salary plus uncapped commission on settled deals. Your effort shows up in your pay. Master of your own day. Hybrid and flexible — split your week between home, our office and the field, and build your hours around your life, not the other way around. School-hours friendly. This role is designed for people with a full life outside work. Do the drop-off, do the pickup, and hit your numbers in between. Autonomy and trust. You own your pipeline and your calendar. We give you the market, the products and the support, then get out of your way. If you know property or finance, love the chase, and want a role that fits around your family instead of swallowing it — let's talk.
